One or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for presenting a user interface on a wearable electronic device. In certain embodiments, input is received from at least one sensor coupled to the wearable electronic device. Once the input from the at least one sensor is received, an orientation of the wearable electronic device is determined with respect to an object to which the wearable electronic device is attached. When the orientation of the wearable electronic device is determined, a user interface is presented on a display of the wearable electronic device. In embodiments, the user interface is displayed in an orientation that is based, at least in part, on the determined orientation of the wearable electronic device.
